Thermal imaging cameras for maritime applications

FLIR Systems: The world leader in thermal imaging cameras FLIR is the world leader in the design, manufacturing and marketing of thermal imaging systems for a wide variety of commercial, industrial and government applications. FLIR thermal imaging systems use state-of-the-art infrared imaging technology that detects infrared radiation - or heat. Based on detected temperature differences, thermal imaging cameras can create a crisp image. At FLIR we design and manufacture all of the critical technologies inside FLIR products, including detectors, electronics, and special lenses ourselves....

more than meets the eye part of the electromagnetic spectrum Any object that has a temperature above absolute zero (-273.15 degrees Celsius or 0 Kelvin) emits radiation in the infrared region. Even objects that we think of as being very cold, such as ice cubes, emit infrared radiation. We experience infrared radiation every day. The heat that we feel from sunlight, a fire or a radiator is all infrared. Although our eyes cannot see it, the nerves in our skin can feel it as heat. The warmer the object, the more infrared radiation it emits. Our eyes are detectors that are designed to detect...

FLIR thermal imaging cameras On board of every vessel FLIR Systems markets a full range of thermal imaging cameras for the most demanding maritime applications. Our thermal imaging cameras are rapidly finding their way to pleasure craft and yachts, commercial vessels, work boats, fishing boats, cruise ships and many other types of vessels. They will help you to navigate in all circumstances, detect other vessels, assist in overboard searches, secure your vessel in the harbour and at open water (antipiracy) and give you a good overview of what is happening in the dark.

A large number of applications A thermal imaging camera is very effective in maritime environments. It is designed to meet the following customer requirements: port, waterway and coastal security, maritime safety, illegal immigrant detection at sea, law enforcement at sea, anti-piracy & threat detection, fishing fleet protection, vessel tracking & observation, search and rescue operations, environmental protection. Even objects which can not be detected by a radar system such as sail boats, wooden boats, floating debris, ... become clearly visible when you are using a thermal imaging...

Search and rescue operations and man overboard searches Thermal imaging cameras are widely used by coastguard and rescue workers. They use thermal imaging cameras for man overboard searches. It is extremely important to find people floating in the water before hypothermia sets in. Daytime navigation A FLIR thermal imaging camera detects objects in any light condition. Also in broad daylight, a FLIR thermal imaging camera can detect objects that remain invisible to the naked eye. It is not affected by glare from the sun. A FLIR thermal imaging camera will allow you to see through the glare,...

Real life applications Genoa pilot corps NSSR Norway Lisbon ferry Ferretti Group Just like any major port, Genoa has a port pilot service. The Genoa Pilot Corps provides an active service 24 hours a day and 365 days a year, covering the entire port area of Genoa. Everyone that has been at sea at night will agree that being able to see in the dark is a very important asset to any sailor, but for the Norwegian Society for Sea Rescue (NSSR) it quite literally makes the difference between life and death. The Portuguese capital Lisbon lies next to one of the busiest rivers of Europe: the Tagus....
